This was such a fun and quick card to make, and the sweet sugarplum glitter ribbon was my color inspiration. And you get silver glitter ribbon in the combo pack! And almost no cutting with the Santa's Sleigh die thinlits - I only had to cut the ribbon, diecut the stars and trees, and tear the white paper for "snow!"

I stamped a holiday greeting in a matching color using the rich razzleberry ombre stamping pad! There are 4 other colors of ombre pads (calypso coral, black, bermuda bay, emerald envy) - so fun to use and can you imagine using the emerald or bermuda for matching tree cards?!

I "cased" this cute card from the magazine that Stampin' Up demonstrators receive for free. You can get free project ideas, have access to many more designs and tutorials when you join as a demonstrator. And you can do it all online from your own home. Sure makes it convenient when you can't get to any classes, plus videos, a cardmaking community 24/7. And I would be available online for you too! Check it out in my online store....http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/

More pictures of this card...well, actually I made 2 versions of it....can you see the difference between the 2 cards? (hint: placement of the trees) Which one do you like best?

BTW, Stampin' Up is having a special on some designer paper this month - buy 3 and get one free. You can mix and match any of the following papers: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/promotions

Two of the paper designs are Christmasy so you can start preparing for Christmas now - all of the products used in my tree cards can be purchased in my online store: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/

great?!Here is my card using products
